Horizon view
Horizon from Newton D
76.0853° S, 15.3185° W · cell 21CFT
- Highest horizon point
- Newton D: 15.4° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 71°.
- Farthest visible point
- 47.4 km away at azimuth 283°, 5.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,659 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 9.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 56° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 14.6°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:06 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline
- 71° Newton D, 20.9 km away, 15.4° high, 5,883 m above the ground here
- 205° Newton, 17.1 km away, 6.4° high, 1,992 m above the ground here
A ray every 0.5 degrees out to 200 km across the NASA LRO LOLA terrain, the curvature of the Moon included; each peak is named only when an IAU feature's mapped footprint lies over the point that forms it. Smooth terrain between samples, no boulders.
